Inter Milan president Moratti praises Balotelli for derby performance

It was the first time Balotelli had faced Inter since leaving in 2010 for Manchester City.

"It was a difficult game for him, both psychologically and because we had taken precautions for him. So we can say he had a good match. The missed goals are something relative, since he had already done a good job simply getting to those balls, and it wasn't easy to finish the chances," said Moratti.
